Mission 3 - part 2 | Novus UaW: EA Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Several Hierarchy Walkers will appear on the map. Don't attack them, because you would only lose your troops. You will have to wait for the Walkers to take their positions. It's going to take some time, so focus on manufacturing new units. Thankfully, they won't attack your base. You should also protect your existing power grid against single enemy attacks. As you've probably noticed, Grunt units have arrived in the area. A large group of these creatures is heading towards your base. Allow Vertigo to attack them, because Grunts can't defend themselves against air units. You won't have to construct any other planes. Instead, allow Mirabel to activate missile strike against enemy forces. You will have to prevent Grunt units from reaching your base. Order your main army to engage enemy forces if your heroes can't stop them on their own. You will have to kill all Grunt units in order to secure the safety of your camp, at least for a few minutes.
Now you should focus your attention on obtaining the fourth piece of the portal. It can be found to the north of your position. That's where enemy Walkers appeared in the first place. Sadly, you won't be allowed to send Vertigo there right away, because the artifact is probably being guarded by a few Lost One troops and they're fully capable of destroying air units. Allow Viktor to get there and use your missile strike ability to get rid of alien creatures (screen). Once this is done, allow Vertigo to pick up the fragment. Obviously you will have to transport it back to your base.
The fifth fragment of the portal is to the north-west, near one of the enemy Walkers. Obviously you can't get too close to the Walker, because it would be able to respond to your attacks. Choose Vertigo and approach this area from the north-east (screen). I wouldn't recommend making any unnecessary stops. Focus only on obtaining the marked object. Once you've got it, return to your base the same way you came before. Lower the fragment and wait for the game to show you where to look for next.
The sixth fragment is located to the north of your main base. I would recommend going there in a straight line, because you'll find an alternative route which leads to an enemy base. You'll have to use it in a few minutes, so it's best to know where exactly it is. Vertigo will probably encounter several Grunt units along the way. You may try neutralizing them or you may focus only on collecting the sixth fragment of the portal. Obviously you will have to transport this object back to the base. Now you must continue building your army, so you'll achieve the limit which is 90 points (points doesn't equal units, because larger units take more than one point).
Get ready, because your base is going to be attacked simultaneously from two directions (4 on the map). Thankfully, you won't be dealing with extremely large groups. Focus mostly on defending the northern route, because only a few units will arrive from the west. If you're lucky, Vertigo will take care of them without your immediate assistance. Additionally, a small group should appear near the train tracks, to the west of your base (screen). You may attack them right now or you can wait for them to show up near your camp. If you decide to proceed with the assault, use some of the available power lines to get there quickly. You won't have to defend the train tracks area, because no one will show up there. Focus only on two remaining passageways.
